    1680 x 1050 - 560 or 570?

    At that resolution what wouldnyou suggest? I'm leaning towards the 570 cause it would last a bit longer before i needed to upgrade.

    Also 600w Corsair good enough?

    Thanks

    600w corsair psu will be fine (I'm guessing it's the CX)

    at that res the gtx560 is a bit overkill, the gtx570 would probably be wasted, will also depend on cost, but I'd say go with the gtx560
    My gtx260 768mb is still not struggling at 1680x1050

    Possibly try a GTX460 - £30 cheaper than the 560 and should give very similar performance. Just be careful not to get a Smart Edition (SE) as for the same price you can get a full fat one.

    560 is fine at that res, as should be your PSU (though without the model number I can't swear to that). 570 would be a waste, probably - though if you're really into AA it might help.

    5850 FOR £99 at aria ATM

    Mine was good at 16*10 with AA in my games but got seduced by the unlocking ability of the 6950
